23 T Roadster Headlights

[tommyleea]

I am trying to identify some wires in a harness. I am looking for my headlight wires. My question is about the wires going into the back of the headlight housing. Looking at the service manual it appears that I should be able to remove the wire connection at the housing by pushing and turning. It sure doesn't look like that would work. I know the front housing ring comes off that way, but I am talking about the harness connection at the back. Any experience with this harness and its connection to the headlight? Thanks, and have a Happy T as in Thanksgiving!

Twist the plug and pull back to remove the plug from the socket. The thimble unscrews to remove the wires from the plug.

Thanks..I am going to post some pictures of my setup. It might not be standard.

The rear connection is just like the bulb, press in and twist. They do get suborn sometimes so may need a little wiggling to get them out.

My headlight wiring..Is it normal?

Someone had used Model A headlight wiring conduit to cover the wires and taped the connection. Take the tape off and look.
